Open my eyes Lord

Ya'll, Leviticus and Numbers have not been the easiest things to read for me. That's why I haven't been blogging so much. I do usually get something out of it though, and am thankful for God's Word. Today's lesson has me longing to see the manifest presence of God.

God made His presence visibly clear to the Israelites so they could easily follow Him. He made it clear when it was time to stay, and when it was time to move on. They had to be watching Him, and ready to follow everyday. Hmmm...

Father, open my eyes to see You. Please guide my life and order my steps. I just want to walk with You. Please make Yourself more evident to me so I can follow You and walk with You. I love You. Amen.

I also love Moses's prayer when moving forward. Getting out of our comfort zones can be scary. So, "Arise, O Lord, and let Your enemies be scattered! Let them flee before You!" And when it's time to stop moving, Lord return to us and settle down with us to watch over us and protect us. Thank You. Amen.
